The Classic Model

The Classic model for a CMIT local program is a one campus - one staff team model. All interns learn and grow on one campus, and relate to each other daily. The intern goes deep into the culture of one campus and knows one staff team well. The Classic Model has served Chi Alpha extremely well since the 1970s.

ISU is a dark place and we love it. The environment is a perfect place to learn cross cultural ministry as well as a preparation place for reaching those trapped in other religions. We believe we are a world launching point because of the environment of Idaho State University as well as a launching point for Chi Alpha across the U.S. including Utah which currently has no Chi Alpha ministry on any of the 13 campuses. Come and join in a team approach to ministry as we break the darkness.
